From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head, and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after the end of the iterator. Replace a field access from orphan by NULL. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier c; expression E; iterator name list_for_each_entry; statement S; @@ list_for_each_entry(c,...) { ... when != break; when forall when strict } ... ( c = E | *c ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- fs/ubifs/orphan.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ubifs/orphan.c b/fs/ubifs/orphan.c index b02734d..4b7860a 100644 --- a/fs/ubifs/orphan.c +++ b/fs/ubifs/orphan.c @@ -176,7 +176,7 @@ int ubifs_orphan_start_commit(struct ubifs_info *c) *last = orphan; last = &orphan->cnext; } - *last = orphan->cnext; + *last = NULL; c->cmt_orphans = c->new_orphans; c->new_orphans = 0; dbg_cmt("%d orphans to commit", c->cmt_orphans); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
